    Okay guys... I have a customer that I built a CF-31 for. He decided to lock it down as a Window admin so that when the screen saver comes on it requires a password to log back in. Generally I'd tell him tough luck and I can't help him. But he also said that, at the same time, it also turned on airplane mode. Has anyone ever heard of this?

    If this is touchy... Please PM me. I know we don't openly discuss password breaking around here. But in this case... The owner and machine are known to me.

    W7 is easy to get past those issues.
    I will investigate 10 and pm you.

    So... He eventually got in after getting his password straight and it was stuck in airplane mode. That threw me for a loop until I asked him to check the WiFi switch inside the DVD door... (CF-31) He had accidentally turned it off when using the DVD to load a program. Then he butchered the settings trying to turn WiFi back on in Windows.

    We got it all straight.
